Preferred term

comorbid mental and other physical disorders  

Definition

  • A range of studies has shown that many individuals suffer from mental and other physical disorders at the same time. The suffering experienced by individuals as a result, and the cost in lost productivity and health expenditures, is magnified well beyond the suffering and costs associated with either mental or other physical disorders alone.
